The new Polish zloty (meaning 'golden' ) was introduced on January 1, 1995 as a result of the redenomination of the old currency. The Polish government stated that it would like to join the euro but there is currently no schedule for when this transition will take place.

The peso was initially the name of the eight-real coins issued in Mexico by Spain. The Mexican peso is now among the 15 most traded currency units in the world, and is the most traded currency in Latin America.
